Nighttime, I lay with Annie in the dark, the wall next to her bed adorned with posters of teen idols.
Annie: "You know how celebrities or stars, when they have a poster or they're talking on TV., how they have their own motto? You know, like they say, be yourself, or follow your dreams?
Ne: "Yeah?"
Annie: "Well that's a load of crap."
Me: Laughing.
Annie: "I mean, I hate to break it to you, but dreams are dreams, and dreams don't come true, and I'm sorry, there's no such thing as a falling star. I mean, you could get scientific about it, you could say that it's actually a meteor entering the earth's atmosphere, but they're not actually falling!"

True Tai, but I have to say, here she sounds more like Roger Bowen's granddaughter, wouldn't you agree?
